Financiación
Accomplishments. Funding. In 2019, 10 organizations from the KRHC worked together to apply for the Rural Communities Opioid Response Planning Grant (RCORP) funded by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). The application was funded, and that funding provided an opportunity to further organize the consortium, survey the community regarding health priorities, and gauge perceptions regarding strategies for addressing the opioid crisis. As receipt of this grant and knowledge of the consortium’s work grew, organizations, researchers, and individuals from outside the consortium began to seek the group’s expertise and support of additional health improvement endeavors across the region.
